STANFORD, Calif. — A chance for a Bay Area sweep turned into a second half collapse for Colorado on Saturday, as the Buffs dropped a 75-62 decision at Stanford.
The Buffs led by as much as 12 in the first half and by nine early in the second period, but were outscored 42-20 by the Cardinal over the final 18 minutes.
The loss ended CU's nine-game win streak against Stanford and dropped the Buffs to 11-8 overall and 2-5 in Pac-12 play. The Cardinal improved to 10-10, 3-5. It was also the first time this year in 10 games the Buffs have lost after leading at half, and it ended a program streak of 25 straight wins after leading at halftime.
